Emergency Medicine factoids on Twitter


The medical profession is slowly incorporating Twitter. If you have a Twitter account, here are some great Twitter accounts to follow:


  • Written by Dr. Brian Kloss (EM faculty at SUNY Upstate Medical University)
  • EM nuggets of wisdom, targeted for medical students, EM residents, and mid-level practitioners





  • Written by Dr. Rob Cooney (EM faculty at Conemaugh University) and of Better in Emergency Medicine blog fame.  
  • Written in a question-answer format, this account provides great pearls targeted for EM residents.






  • I created this account a few years ago but never really did anything with this. The CDEM (Clerkship Directors in EM) organization is now more formally organizing our social media team.
  • Written by a team of CDEM faculty, this account targets medical students on their EM clerkship rotation. 


Any other Twitter account suggestions?

  4. A few more worth following, IMHO:
    Michelle Johnston (@Eleytherius) -- EMP in Perth, WA
    SAEM (@SAEMonline)
    hqmeded (@hqmeded) -- out of Hennepin County Medical Center, MN
    Aaron Sparshott (@IVLINE) -- Medical Student in Brisbane, OZ
    Scott Weingart (@emcrit) -- needs no introduction I hope!
    Graham Walker (@grahamwalker) -- EMP, not sure where
    Cliff Reid (@cliffreid) -- of RESUS.ME fame
    @precordialthump -- of LITFL fame!

    about all I can manage at the moment..
